Student Inducted Into Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society
Elmira, NY (05/14/2020) — Jennifer Lewis '20 was recently inducted into the Elmira College Beta Tau Chapter of the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society.
Students inducted into the chapter are selected from the top 20% of their class, as measured by academic performance in their major field and in the liberal arts. Lewis, a nursing major, also received the Alpha Sigma Lambda Scholarship and the 2020 Professional Nurse of the Twin Tiers Leadership Award.
Alpha Sigma Lambda is a national honor society for non-traditional undergraduate students who achieve and maintain outstanding scholastic standards and leadership characteristics while also managing the additional responsibilities of work and family. The founding chapter was established by Dr. Rollin Posey at Northwestern University in 1946 to recognize the accomplishments of those returning to academic pursuits after the close of World War II. Its purpose, he wrote, "is to bind together in one Society the excellent students within the University College in order to provide a stimulus for and recognition of their worthy efforts." Today there are more than 300 active ASL chapters in the United States.
